Welcome to the Thank God It's Saturday's Blog. It was another rip-roaring service at TGIS.
To start things off was a very physical game by the talented Yuri as we did a toss the paper plate stepping stone game. We had 3 teams making across the room to the other side with the last person picking up the paper plates. Thank you Yuri. A little exercise gets the blood pumping!

Due to technical difficulties we had the Open Mike session first. The very funny Mamiko tell us a joke about Christmas then translated herself. Ha ha ha! 

Next there was a Hawaiian joke about 3 guys before a firing squad. Hardly anybody got the joke. That one was not told by Mamiko.

Finally the worship team was on track. Travis on guitar and lead worship, Eliane on piano and vocals, and Yutaka vocals, and percussion, led us into worship of our Lord Jesus Christ. We had a full band and that was a treat. Thanks guys and gal live worship is the best.

Lastly, we had the message on Faith, good deeds and love! We must first have faith in God and then we are to show our faith by our deeds or good works. Abraham and the harlot Rahab were good examples of their faith in action. We don't want to be talking Christians, we want to show our faith by our good works.

Kumi shared about Miho who has been coming to TGIS for a few months. Kumi befriended Miho, spent time with her and Yue bought some books from the Christian bookstore. Two weeks ago Miho entered the hospital for some medical problem. Last week Miho gave her life to Christ and the TGIS people were excited. She gets out of the hospital on Tuesday. Praise God for He answers prayer!
Now that is faith with good works in action.

Travis led the last song, then Pastor Elmer closed in prayer. And then refreshment time where we get to eat and mingle. Thanks again Robert and Lauren for the salami/pepperoni snacks! It was yummy!

So if you think of coming to TGIS then COME! Check us out! God bless your week!
